e modification consists only in the form of the bottle-holding arm and parts connecting therewith; This arm is represented ans-a and is shown bent to conform to the shape of the bottle. practically the same as the arm'e in the In other respects it is construction before described and is mounted in precisely the same way. Adjustable f upon the armarethe two flanges a, a, each-"0f these flanges eonnecting with the arm by a sliding boss. at and may be fixed inia'ny adjusted tgpsition by thumb screws a extending ough [the respective bosses and binding against the side-of the rod. The flanged" is 'made to bear against the 'bottom' end of the bottle and the flange a against the stopper and when in properly" adjustedposition. to clamp thefbottle be-- tween them and to hold the stopper in the end ofthe bottle. To prevent the bottle from slippingouty-the flange a. like the flange a before described, 13 ma e-to'oonform tothe-shape of the bottom end of the bottle whichifits therein as the flange against the bottle. The flange a" also is made to fit over the stopper and isLprovided with a hole or openin -1I1 itby which the 7 tube bearing the nipp e may pass .through the flange. is shown what may be termed} a nippleholder af This comprises a plate having On the end of the arm a" there in it a slot made to receive the plug a into;

which the nipple fits and which connects it with the end of-the tube. This plug in-the art over which the nipple fits is corrugated t i tle still be propirly secured. I prefer, how

Lever, to make th adjustable so that when the nip is has been properly afiixed to the nipple" older a the bottle may be adju t,- a f ab fixed'insuch osition that there will be ft lelor no slack eft in the tube'c.- Having this fully described in invention, :I claim and desire to secure by: ent oftheUnitedStates.:- I v 1-.
